Villa Included

Every villa is written up under the same seven categories.

The Villa for a Group

Sleeping and bathrooms
Eight bedrooms and six bathrooms in the villa: five twin rooms, whose beds can be joined, and three doubles. The two-bedroom apartment opposite has its own bathroom, sitting room and kitchen, and suits a family with children. Together they sleep eighteen.
Where the group gathers
One table seats all eighteen of you under a reed pergola, a hundred paces from the court. The villa and the pool sit on the same stretch of ground, keeping your group close.
What groups use it for
The villa is set up for a group arriving with a programme: a padel week, a company offsite, a birthday or a wedding. Amber and Fabrizio, the owners, run their own branding and padel weeks here.

The Padel Court

A court of your own
The court is full size at twenty metres by ten, set below the villa between the olive trees, and floodlit so you can play as late as you want. Its surface is artificial turf, with double panoramic glass at both ends and open countryside beyond the fence.
Coaching, and the kit
You can add coaching to your stay, with coaches who come out to your court from the clubs a short drive away. Rackets and balls are provided at no charge.

The Kitchen

Outside
A pizza oven, an outdoor kitchen and a barbecue all stand within sight of the table under the pergola.

The Feeling

A family home, ten weeks a year

She finds places that live up to the photographs, and gets the less obvious things right: the location, the atmosphere, and how well a house works for the people in it.
Danny · God’s Window
She thinks of the things you'd never think to check. The layout, the views, whether a place feels too touristy. You can tell she books as if she were staying there herself.
Anna · Sublime Comporta
She has a knack for finding somewhere in the middle of everything that doesn't feel touristy. Hard to get once, let alone twice.

Before you book

Questions about Maniero

Why book through Padel Hideaways?

The villas are looked after by people who are particular about who they work with, and they work with us. That takes time to earn and it is why this collection grows slowly, a villa at a time.

The rate is the villa's own, and booking with us adds nothing to it: our commission comes from within what the villa already charges. The Concierge, Driver, Chef and Coach are quoted alongside it as one price, and we are on call for them all week. Every enquiry comes to us, so the person who answers is the person who arranges it.

Is there a security deposit at Maniero, and what else does the villa charge for?

€1,000 for the week, taken in cash or by transfer, whichever suits you, and held by Amber and Fabrizio. It is returned once the villa has been checked after your stay. Five things you can add if you want them: full board with drinks, through their caterer at €100 per person, each day, breakfast through dinner, pasta-making course at €50 per person, three hours, pizza party at €20 per person, barbecue at €25 per person and cocktail welcome at €18 per person, three cocktails. Each is added only if you would like it.

When do we arrive, and can we book a shorter stay?

Check-in can be any day, with a minimum of three nights. Tell us your dates and we will confirm with the villa.

Which airport do we fly into for Maniero?

Ancona Falconara (AOI), about forty minutes away by road. Perugia is 117 km and Rome 253 km. Longer drives rather than second doors, and most groups fly Ancona. Add the Driver and you are met at arrivals and driven in.

What comes with the villa, and what can I add at Maniero?

the villa and the apartment opposite it, yours alone, for 18. Add the concierge, a driver, a chef and a coach and we plan the week and come back with one price.

What is added to the rate at Maniero?

The week is €22,400, with the cleaning and taxes included.

Checked 2 November 2026

When do I pay for Maniero, and what if we have to cancel?

30% of the week confirms the booking, and the balance is due 2 months before you arrive. If you cancel at any point, the villa retains the 30% paid to confirm the booking.

How far ahead should we book?

As far ahead as you can. Maniero is available for bookings ten weeks a year, so dates go early. If you have a month in mind, tell us now.

Can we run a retreat or a company offsite here, rather than a holiday?

That is most of what the villa does. Amber runs branding weeks here and Fabrizio runs padel weeks, so the estate is used to a group with a programme: the long table, the yoga deck, the arcade hall for the evening, and two owners who arrange coaches, caterers, instructors and transport as the week asks for them.

Is food included, and can someone cook for us?

Not included. Their caterer does breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks for about €100 a head a day, with a pasta-making course, a pizza party, a barbecue or a cocktail welcome priced separately. Or we bring a chef in. The pizza oven and the outdoor kitchen are there either way.

Is the padel court really private, or shared with other guests?

Private. The estate takes one group at a time, and the court is inside the fence with the pool and the villa. No slots to book and nobody else on it. Fabrizio built it himself.

Does the price change in August?

The rate is the same in August as in February, with linen, towels, the cleaning, the pool and every facility on the estate included.

Can we take fewer than seven nights?

Three is the shortest the villa takes. It prefers the week, and so do we: the court, the pool and the table only really start working on about day three.

Eighteen of us will not all play padel. What do the others do?

The pool is twenty metres and heated. There is a sauna, a jacuzzi and a plunge pool, a gym and a yoga deck, an arcade hall with billiards and darts, an outdoor cinema, a beach volleyball court, hiking from the gate, and the Adriatic twenty-five minutes down the road.

Are children welcome?

Yes, and the estate is set up for them: fenced and gated throughout, with cots, high chairs, baby baths and safety gates. There is a playground and a trampoline, and nannies can be arranged.
